Pride month is approaching in the U.S., typically celebrated in June.

But Pride events aren’t confined to a single 30-day period. Because these events are often tied to a region’s history of LGBTQ+ equal rights movements, they happen at different times in locations around the globe. If you want to branch out from attending Pride locally (or celebrate beyond June), consider booking a trip to visit one of these six LGBTQ+ events around the world.

MemDay happens at the end of May, just before the start of Pride Month. It's put on by LesbianNightLife, which calls MemDay the largest lesbian takeover in the country. Events at MemDay Ptown include the MoonLit Pool Party and the Freedom Boat Cruise.

If you’re single, there’s a ticket called the Single & Social Pass, which includes speed dating, a coffee meetup and a singles tea dance. Provincetown is easily accessible to visitors from out of town. Travelers can take a 1.
